Thanks. In pursuing this suggestion I discovered that I also can't make new XP VMs. Setup fails with "the disk may be damaged".

The image was created with

qemu-img create xp_new.img 13G

And the setup command is

kvm -cdrom xp/xp_pro.iso -hda xp_new.img -boot d -m 512 -no-acpi -usb -usbdevice tablet

Will boot into safe mode, but _not_ into safe mode with networking.


According to http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314474, this file is corrupted. If you have another VM with the same service pack, you might try copying the file over in safe mode, or you can try extracting it from the service pack and copying it.
